To be the girl in the affair
[Chorus]
Ba-ba
Ba-ba-ya-ya
Ba-ba
Ba-ba-ya-ya
[Verse 2]

[Bridge]
She's not supposed to care
Girl in the affair
She's not supposed to care
But she did this time and she's breaking every rule
She's handing her heart to you
The girl in the affair
[Chorus]
Ba-ba
Ba-ba-ya-ya
[Harmonica solo]
[Verse 3]
But when you come visit me, you give your love so openly
If only for just one week
The girl in the affair
The girl in the affair
[Outro]
Ba-ba
Ba-ba-ya-ya
She's not supposed to care
Ba-ba
Ba-ba-ya-ya
The girl in the affair
Ba-ba
Ba-ba-ya-ya
She's not supposed to care
Ba-ba
Ba-ba-ya-ya
She's not supposed to care
